Motor Control Centers

The Tiastar motor control center (MCC) product line now includes four arc-resistant models compliant to ANSI/IEEE C37.20.7. The MCCs feature a SmartStart option with plug-and-play functionality to reduce commissioning time with pre-programmed and pre-configured data. High-density designs meeting UL and NEMA standards, while reducing unit size for NEMA 1 through starters, allow for up to a 10% weight reduction and offer a 25% smaller footprint, according to the company.

Aluminum Hubs

This line of die-cast aluminum hubs securely connects rigid metal conduit (CRMC) or intermediate metal conduit (IMC) to the threadless opening in an enclosure, providing a NEMA 4X watertight seal. In addition to standard environments, the devices can be installed in hazardous industrial locations. Available trade sizes range from ½ in. to 2 in. in grounding and non-grounding styles. A PVC coating is available on select hubs.

Adjustable Variable Ring

This adjustable variable ring (AVR) for electrical junction boxes offers a pre-fab solution that ensures a flush fit while eliminating the need for multiple plaster rings. The AVR includes a sliding insert in a box-shaped frame that allows adjustments from ½ in. to 2 in. Featuring a measuring rule, the insert slides in and out of the base frame with a ratcheting mechanism. In addition, the sliding mechanism allows for modifications. When installation is finalized, the AVR is easily and quickly removed.

Support Tool

Similar to a machinist v-block, the Ladder Horse is designed for supporting, cutting, trimming, and sawing a variety of materials. Unlike a sawhorse, the product requires no unfolding, no assembly, and no storage. Users can choose the ladder rung that offers the best height for them to stand up and cut from. Features include aluminum construction and marked measurements.

Pop-up Receptacle

The Carlon Kitchen Pop-up receptacle eliminates power cords hanging over the edge of the counter to reach side-mounted outlets. When not in use, the receptacle is hidden beneath the countertop surface with only a 4¾-in.-diameter metallic cover visible. When the cover is pressed down slightly, the GFCI receptacle pops up above the countertop. Available in nickel, bronze or brass finishes, the 15A, 125VAC/60Hz product features gaskets fitted under the flange and around the main body to prevent spilled liquids from penetrating the electrical enclosure when the receptacle is open or closed.

Line Laser

The DW089K features a second plumb line that forms a 90° intersecting line on the floor and ceiling. This third vertical beam allows users to employ the tool for layout applications without the need for a second laser. For commercial wall layout applications, the product offers a track clearance of more than 1¾ in., eliminating the need for additional accessories to raise the laser over drywall track. According to the company, the tool is accurate within 1/8 in. at 30 ft.

Conduit Bodies

Type X conduit bodies allow users to run wire and cable in multiple directions. Manufactured from type 316 stainless steel, the conduit bodies are corrosion-resistant and suitable for use in marine and sanitary applications. Available sizes include ½ in., ¾ in., 1 in., 1½ in., and 2 in. According to the company, the four-hub “X” configuration limits the amount of additional fittings needed on a project, as wires can be fed through and then out in several directions. A cover and gasket set are also included.

Power Distribution Units

Advanced Monitored and Managed enclosure power distribution units (ePDUs) are designed to provide monitoring and control power consumption at the individual outlet level. Both models monitor critical factors such as voltage, current, and power factor. The outlet number identifications are color coded to match the outlet section to the appropriate circuit breaker. In addition, the Managed models are designed to provide full control of each outlet, allowing users to remotely switch the outlet on/off or reboot. Available in 14 configurations with eight different input plugs, the ePDUs feature 200V to 240V power output to C13 and C19 outlets.
